Mollie Makes Issue 8 and a Happy Giveaway – CLOSED

I am so proud and chuffed to be featured in this wonderful magazine’s Christmas Edition…(I have a 7 page spread!) Mollie Makes was set up in July and since then has enjoyed a steady rise in sales and subscriptions…and that is because of one thing….its damn good!

This is a craft magazine for the 21st century…A lot of gals and guys these days have brilliant talents and now with most of us having the internet and writing blogs, joining Etsy and Flickr…these are all mediums to show the world how creative we are…Mollie Makes encapsulates all of this into one magazine…and it is Brilliant…I totally take my hat off to the whole team ;).Issue 8 has everything and more…first of all, it features my home and how we decorate at Christmas…The lovely Judith Wilson interviewed me and has positively written the most fantastic article that has ever been written (in my opinion)…she has really captured my personality…her words even made me chuckle…thinking at the time…that is soooo me!…But also it has plenty of beautiful christmassy things to make and proper patterns and careful instructions that even the total beginner can follow….you will also recognise a few names from the craft book and blog scene…like in this Issue…Tilda showing you how to decorate your home with beautiful makes from her series of books…Oh and me! lol!Another great deal for subscribing to this mag is that they are giving away…A roll of fabrics by The Makery worth £36.00 oh what a deal breaker! Aye! I don’t know why they are doing this…as they are by far the best craft magazine on the shelf to date!…I suppose its a way of saying thankyou for making us great, as nearly all of the previous back copies are sold out already…so come on gals get subscribing and get making!…Meanwhile, you will have to buy Issue 8 from your local newsagent…or HERE (you can buy from this link if you are overseas too ;))…you will also get a free calender for 2012 with the prettiest of pictures to display by FRYD by DESIGN…How delightful 😉

THE GIVEAWAYIS NOW CLOSED

Right…so what if I said I had a spare copy to give-away to one of my lovely readers!…Yay! I can here you all shout ;)…Well please leave a comment about what you like making for Christmas…has it been a tradition every year or have you just decided thats what you want to make for Chrimbo 2011? ….You can enter as many times as you like…with different ideas….of course…and I will be drawing this on Friday evening (Dec 2nd My Birthday) so I shall blog about who is the winner on the Saturday (hopefully in the morning)…depending on, if I have a hangover or not lol! (As I will of been out on the town with Rosie and friends ;))

after xmas shopping 2day and noticing the price of some decs for the table, i have decided to make my own confetti using a xmas punch and pretty paper and decorate plain baubles with names for place settings-it means more when handmade i thinkfrom zoe rosszoenick12@hotmail.com

Happy, you must be busting buttons with pride from having your talent recognized by all these wonderful magazines! What do I like to make for Christmas? Well . . . besides fattening food, lol, I pretty much stick to paper crafts. That's what I enjoy the most!

I can see why you were in that magazine! I absolutely LOVE LOVE your home! I am going to make my cut out cookies in all of the lovely shapes (stars, bells, snowmen,etc). Its been a tradition ever since my kids were wee little ones! Blessings to you! Tammy in Michigan

ooooooooooo i keep thinking of loads of homemade things to do!!1 sorry for taking over the comment part-pompom garlands to put round the tree in red and white as i made garlands for in my craft roomfrom zoe rosszoenick12@hotmail.com

congrats on ur article-it looks fab, last year i started making felt decorations for the tree-i made a gingerbread man, snowman and tree so will try and carry on the traditionfrom zoe rosszoenick12@hotmail.com

🙂 congrats! I love making cakes for presents. I make christmas cup cakes, put them in an old biscuit tin, with tissue paper and chocolate coins, wrap them up with a big bow and stisk some cndy canes on the top. 🙂

Oh I bet that's a wonderful article on you. I would love to see it. Your decorating is so unique. Every Christmas I made something different, the last few years it's been felted and beaded ornaments like little cottages, a tree, a deer or polar bear. This year I realized enough of those so I must switch. I'm about to make some nice place mats this year.

I was just writing a blog post and popped over to do a link to your lovely blog and found you were also doing a Mollie Makes giveaway.The article is excellent, love your home, it really does show a very "Happy" Christmas.Carol xx

Well done on getting into the mag. Every year I make a hand stitched ornament for each of my kids. The eldest gets to choose usually but this year I have done her a surprise one using a quote from Little Women. All my hand stitched ornies get a tree of their own. x

Oh! Congratulations for the 7 page feature! What am I making this year? Well, dolls, as always and biscuits, because I'm translated to the USA and everyone makes cookies and little rabbits, because rabbits are for Christmas, right?

Woohoo! 7 page spread I so can't wait to read that..your lovely van is also in Vintage caravan magazine here…I will be having a Happy Fest!.I love making our special celebration Christmas cookies each year. What makes them even more special is that we only make them at Christmas, we give the ingredients as gifts to friends ( with the recipe of course) and we cook them Christmas morning..Yum full of oats, raisens, walnuts, and M&M's ..Kiss Noises Linda
